Andre, I just ran into the reverse. A 5'8" senior friend said he was hitting his 24° GS XPC hybrid, which he had built himself, very well and wanted to get the 3W version for a bit more distance, but couldn't get the head or shaft anymore. He asked me if I could find one for him and build it. I told him I'd see what I could find to somewhat match his hybrid club if he would bring me the club so I could match it as closely as possible. Well, I was amazed to see he had simply epoxied the shaft in the hosel, the club was 46" long and had a swingweight of F1. I can't believe he can even swing that thing, but guess the only way I can get another 10 or 15 yards for him is to use the same shaft length and lower lofted head...or maybe I'll just have him build it himself. :-)

I recently put up of Maltby Glider irons with TT Dynalite regular shafts to a D2 swingweight. Customer comes back and says he is them too high and wants to try something else. He has me reshaft his 5-6-7 irons with SK fiber shafts which have been already cut off 1 inch shorter than standard. The previous clubmaker had not done any reweighting therefore I just stuck the shafts in there but advised the customer that the sw was C4. Much to my dismay he calls me back and says he likes them like that. Go figure.

Here is a quote from a marginally famous club designer who happens to be an overall nice guy that I can vouch for as I am him :-) David The 3 wood comes in the standard loft of 15* as well as a 13* model for players who generate excessive club head speed, AND is also available in a 17* model for players who have difficulty getting a high soaring shot from traditional 3 woods, this is important because for these players to hit a dependable shot off the deck they resort to a 4 or 5 wood and with the shorter shaft length sacrifice needed distance, some have even tried using a 5 wood head made at a 3 wood length but this results in excessive swing weight and is not the answer. Our 17* 3 wood is sure to add a whole new dimension to the game for those who need it. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
